ON ROBERT PRIEST'S POETRY FOR CHILDREN:
"Rich and original!”
- Canadian Children's Literature
“It (Daysongs Nightsongs) is a Canadian gem. For 2-5 year olds it's perfection itself. This should be in every child's home.”
-Michelle Lansberg CBC Book Panel
"Priest is a poet of undeniable talent."
-Quill & Quire
"Designed to stretch kids' already limber imaginations and tickle their funny bones." -The Toronto Star
"All in all this is wonderful, slightly wacky stuff, as sophisticated as kids and as naive." -Performance Magazine
"Priest's world is colourful and peaceful, a place for kids (and everyone else) to learn and grow."
-Now Magazine
"This is a lovely book! A child's garden of verses for the nineties." -Quill & Quire
Priest's prose mesmerizes through alliteration and rhyme, making The Ballad of the Blue Bonnet a treasure to be passed down or a keepsake to refresh memories forever.
-Books in Canada April
“Colourful, loaded with repetitions, and with captivating images and phrases, these poems will undoubtedly be memorized and sung for a long time to come. Highly recommended. -Canadian Book Review Annual
“This (The Secret Invasion of Bananas) is a big book! It’s laugh-out-loud but it’s also a very thoughtful book. These are the sorts of poems that you can read out loud. It’s a great book for sharing and I think that children as they’re reading through it will find the poems that they want to share and they want to read out to the rest of the family. There is word magic. It’s wonderful.”
-Ken Setterington – CBC Summer Book Panel
